Red Roses to host USA and Wales in September Internationals

England Women will play two September Internationals against USA (Sandy Park, Exeter - Saturday 3 September, KO 3pm) and Wales (Ashton Gate, Bristol - Wednesday 14 September, KO 7.30pm). 

Simon Middleton’s outfit return to Sandy Park for a fourth time to take on a USA side which boasts a number of players plying their trade at Allianz Premier 15s runners-up Exeter Chiefs in their ranks including forwards Hope Rogers, Rachel Johnson and Kate Zackary as well as backs Jennine Detiveaux, Gabby Cantora and Megan Foster.   

The midweek fixture against Wales will be the Red Roses’ first-ever visit to Ashton Gate. A crowd of 14, 689 watched England take on Ioan Cunningham’s outfit in the 2022 TikTok Women’s Six Nations at Kingsholm and another large crowd is targeted at a fellow West Country venue close to the Anglo-Welsh border. 

 

Both matches will act as crucial preparation for the team’s Rugby World Cup 2021 campaign which begins on 8 October. Team and venue-specific ticket packs for the tournament are available here, with general admission tickets going on sale from 30 June.
